FEAR by John Cassavetes

“I feel that people don’t really do what they want to do. And I think it’s much more important that you do what you want to even if it’s wrong. We all get so chicken that we’re afraid of our jobs, we’re afraid of our wives, we’re afraid of our children, we’re afraid to go out in the street. I really think it’s because we’re too worried about the way we would appear. Fear is the basis for everything terrible. Fear is what causes all the horror in the world. No man achieves anything through fear. Fear isn’t constructive. So the only thing that can save people in a spiritual or religious or in any way is to say I’m not afraid anymore. The minute they say they are not afraid they cannot commit a wrong act. There will be no such thing as a wrong act.”
